    Reading this is fascinating and very inspiring! Great positive tone. Had been a bit hard on myself today for indulging in expensive latte and croissant on way to work today (all because I didn't go shopping yesterday and had nothing in for breakfast). Reading this has made me think about the little positive things and focus on those instead so here we go:

    *Checked online banking and set-up payment to Credit Union account
    *Did some surveys for free IPoints
    *Completed Saros screening questionnaire
    *OH posted an ebay item from work for me
    *Sold book on Amazon Marketplace
    *Requested free eye test voucher from work
    *Packed lunch from home
    *Walked to and from supermarket in lunch break - free exercise!
    *Bought items for cheap dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow (so no expensive croissant tomorrow)
    *Resisted temptation to buy glossy mag in shops!
    *Picked up clubcard application instore
    *Checked Nectar points balance

    Keep up the good work everyone and for those who have had a bad day today hoping tomorrow will be brighter for you.
